Interpretation: The most likely hydride shift that will occur for each of the below carbocations should be depicted with curved arrow and reason behind lowered potential energy for thus newly formed carbocation should be explained.
Concept introduction: Carbocation is a general term employed for a postively charged carbon irrespective of valency of carbon. In carbocation, carbon is bonded to 3 atoms or groups and has only sextet of electrons so it behaves as an electron-deficient species. It is
The order of relative stability of various possible carbocation species is as follows:
Thus, whenever possibility to attain lower energy by rearrangement is there hydride or alkyl shift may occurs and results in more stable carbocation. This type of rearrangement is highly favorable in polar solvents.

- Why does the carbocation rearrangement take place?arrow_forwardPredict the major product(s) for each of the following thermal electrocyclic reactions. Justify your answer with MO theory. Heat Heat Heatarrow_forwardBased on the hydrogenation and the bromination reaction information, how many different alkene structures can you draw that could be Compound X?

- 149) Why is a tertiary alcohol more reactive with hydrogen halides, than secondary alcohols? Because secondary alcohols are smaller and therefore less reactive for the attack of halide nucleophile. Because tertiary alcohols have more hydrogen atoms available for substitution reactions. Because a tertiary alcohol can form a more stable carbocation as an intermediate in the reaction. Only the 1st and the 2nd statements are acceptable.arrow_forwardPlease answer this organic chemistry question: show all three steps and radical mechanism for hydrobromic acid in peroxide reacting with 3-methylene-2-ene. Are there multiple products? Background information just in case needed for the intial question above ? but if not needed just ignore this background information: which of the following compounds will react the quickest? A) Fluorine with a tertiary radical B) chlorine with a tertiary radical C) Bromine with tertiary radical D) chlorine with a primary radical E) bromine with a primary radicalarrow_forwardTo practice this type of reaction, there's this practice problem that gives us these two reactions to draw the products of. What are they?arrow_forward
- As we will learn, many antioxidants–compounds that prevent unwanted radical oxidation reactions from occurring–are phenols, compounds that contain an OH group bonded directly to a benzene ring.a.) Explain why homolysis of the O–H bond in phenol requiresconsiderably less energy than homolysis of the O–H bond in ethanol(362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol).b.) Why is the C–O bond in phenol shorter than the C–O bond in ethanol?arrow_forwardDraw the most stable resonance form for the intermediate in the following electrophilic substitution reaction.arrow_forward[Review Topica) Draw a structural formula for the more stable carbocation intermediate formed in the reaction shown.
